Received this info late tonight.
An Urgent Concern
Just to let you know there is a proposal for a large gravel mining operation
on Larson's Bench in the Chilliwack River Valley just south of Chilliwack
Lake Road, near Pierce Creek and the Trans Canada Trail. It could have an
affect on habitat ponds on the lower Pierce Creek and the recreational
fishery. It was referred to the FVRD for comment by the Ministry of Energy,
Mines and Petroleum Resources. There was also a legal notice in the news
paper. If you have comments they should be sent ASAP to Natural Resource
Officer, Integrated Land Management Bureau, 200 - 10428 153 Street, Surrey,
BC V3R 1E1.
My coments to this: I guess they are not satisfied in compromising fish habitat on the Fraser River and the Vedder River with gravel extraction projects and now want to cause more damage to our fragile Chilliwack River Valley, First it was amendment 21 regarding increased logging activity and now this. Very depressing how this present government is acting towards the environment and our wild fish stocks. This may call for some groups to rally together to take some course of action to prevent this from happening.
